The much-awaited mobile number portability (MNP) service will be launched in the country on Monday on a trial basis.
The MNP service allows a subscriber to change telecom carrier keeping the same phone number.
The service will roll out at zero hour, said Md Jahirul Haque, acting chairman of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), reports UNB on Sunday.
The telecom regulator will also arrange a press briefing at its office on Sunday morning.
The service will be launched officially later following feedback from customers on the test run, Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Minister Mustafa Jabbar said on earlier on Wednesday.
The BTRC has fixed Tk 50 for availing the service at the customer level.
The operator will be changed 72 hours after applying for the MNP and a customer will have to wait for 90 days if he/she wants to change the operator again.
